Chapter 1148


    Vicky said nothing else, assuming that Tyler had hoped that her face would recover. She thus decided


    to let time tell if Tyler truly did not mind if she looked like this forever.


    In the following days, Tyler continued to head out early for work and only return homete at night.


    He needed to work, look into how Vicky was poisoned, and even had to search for the antidote, so he


    had his hands full. Still, he would always return home to her.


    As he promised, he showed no disgust toward her face and held her close in his sleep every night. He


    would kiss her, hold her, and even show desire toward her but had not initiated anything in bed out of


    concern for her health.


    At this moment, a faint doubt would arise in Vicky’s mind how Tyler managed to kiss her considering


    how she looked. After all, even she would lose her appetite after seeing herself in the mirror.


    As days went by, Vicky’s body finally recovered. Since she promised to leave once her face healed,


    Tyler fulfilled her every request as long as they were not excessive.


    One day, Vicky suggested to Tyler that she wanted to go out for a stroll.


    “Tyler, the doctor said I’m all good now. The weather is nice


    After hearing this, Tyler furrowed his brow slightly and did not answer immediately.


    Vicky’s heart sank.


    Her mistrust of Tyler solidified throughout their interaction in the past years, and his silence once again


    made her doubt whether he still wanted to control her freedom.


    Tyler’s expression darkened when he guessed what she was thinking, and he said, “It’s not that I don’t


    want you to go out, but considering your current situation, gossip will fly if someone sees you.”

    “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of that.” Vicky looked into his eyes.” If the person who poisoned me is here in


    the mansion, seeing me walking around might expose them and help us find the culprit in time.”


    Vicky was supposed to leave with Tyler once she regained her health, but the poison had not been


    cured yet, and a remedy had yet to be found. If she could find the culprit and make them hand over the


    antidote, things would be much simpler.


    Tyler pondered for a few seconds before finally agreeing.” Alright, but you can’t let Ang leave your


    side.”


    Vicky felt relieved. “Okay.”


    Tyler checked the time. “It’s gettingte. Go take a shower and sleep.”


    As she walked out of the bathroom after her shower, the light in the room softened with only themp


    on the nightstand still on.


    Vicky walked to the bedside, turned off the deskmp, and got into bed.


    Just as shey down, a strong arm pulled her closer, followed by a deep kiss on her lips.


    Vicky thought Tyler would fall asleep with her in his arms after the kiss like the previous days, but to her


    surprise, his kiss became increasingly intense.


    They had been together for so long that Vicky instantly noticed that his kiss was a bit unusual.


    Vicky tried to push him away, but Tyler easily held down her hands, making it impossible for her to


    struggle.


    As his movement became more forceful, Vicky could not budge him even a bit, and she instinctively bit


    him.
